IPL Auction 2026: Full squad and new bought players for Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) made big news at the IPL 2026 mini-auction in Abu Dhabi by spending heavily on Australian all-rounder Cameron Green. KKR bought Green for ₹25.20 crore, which made him the most expensive overseas player in IPL auction history. With this signing, KKR showed that they are serious about making a strong comeback after a poor season last year.

Cameron Green is 26 years old and is known for his power hitting and useful fast bowling. KKR management believed he was the missing player in their team. The franchise also strengthened their bowling by signing Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana for ₹18 crore, adding more speed and aggression to their attack.

KKR also made smart buys for adding depth to the team. They selected the New Zealand batsman Finn Allen for the price of ₹2 crores at the base price and invested ₹3 crores on the uncapped Indian batsman Tejasvi Singh. Before the IPL auction, KKR held onto the reliable set of players such as Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana, and Varun Chakravarthy.
